Find the category id for that category and change

'cat' => $cat_id,

to

'cat' => x,

where x is your category id.

Yep, this works fine!!!
Thanks a million for your patience 🙂

OK, this is really odd. It works for other categories, but not for the “Quotes” one…

If I put in the Category-Name, absolutely nothing is returned. There are 8 posts in this category, so it is not due to the Cat being empty 😉

The widget works, but apprently the category call is ignored. I get one random post but from from all categories, although I changed “mycategory” to the appropriate ID (number).

OK; solved. The code to add must look something like that:

add_action( 'init', 'header_widgets_init' );
function header_widgets_init() {
	// Area 7, located in the header. Empty by default.
	register_sidebar( array(
		'name' => __( 'First Header Widget Area', 'twentyten' ),
		'id' => 'first-header-widget-area',
		'description' => __( 'The first header widget area', 'twentyten' ),
		'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widget-container %2$s">',
		'after_widget' => '</li>',
		'before_title' => '<h3 class="widget-title">',
		'after_title' => '</h3>',
	) );	

	// Area 8, located in the header. Empty by default.
	register_sidebar( array(
		'name' => __( 'Second Header Widget Area', 'twentyten' ),
		'id' => 'second-header-widget-area',
		'description' => __( 'The second header widget area', 'twentyten' ),
		'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widget-container %2$s">',
		'after_widget' => '</li>',
		'before_title' => '<h3 class="widget-title">',
		'after_title' => '</h3>',
	) );	

}
